Barry M Textured Nail Polish Gradient

06 January 2014

I've been using my time off work to take a look at different facebook groups and other nail bloggers ages.  I've spotted some amazing manicures using techniques with polishes I wouldn't consider using.  So while I'm procrastinating learning how to stamp, I decided to use my Barry M Textured polishes to create a gradient manicure.

I love the textured polishes.  They're lovely for nights out - they have a great feel and a lovely sparkly but I was a little worried when they first came out after the disaster that was their sequin effect polishes.  But these apply lovely and dry super quick which is a bonus.


I used Countess, Princess and Duchess for the manicure.  I did consider replacing Duchess for White Pearl but Duchess seemed a closer match to the others.


I first applied one coat of Duchess for a base then used a make-up sponge to create a gradient of the three polishes.  I did struggle a little because Countess is such a darker colour than the other two but I think the final effect looks really good.  

I cleaned up then added two coats of insta-dry to finish off.
